We can block dunks? YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Will canned-animated dunks be removed???? That's news to me...that would get me on the hype train.

It is a whole new system so it is not like what you played in 2k12. The hand finds the ball really well. And for the person above who asked yes you can smack the ball like Javale in that first block anyway. I did it a couple of times and it feels really good.

DISCLAIMER. This is no way means there will never be a time when something other than the hand blocks the shot dunk layup etc. The build I played can and possibly has changed a great amount since my experience. and any other disclaimer that you think is necessary!

Again while dunks was only the focus since that was omitted the whole block system was upgraded. It really feels good and does enhance gameplay. You feel much less helpless when someone comes to the rack if you have a shot blocker.

Please see disclaimer in other post.

All this is fine because honestly, It opens up a new level of the meta game that I like playing. I really hope they toned down the ball stripping from lay-ups and dunks if this is the case too, because it's unrealistic to see someone get stripped every time they enter a lay up animation.

Also: This will make posterizing somebody feel so satisfying. In 2k13 It's not, simply because you know that it's like a 1/100,000,000,000,000 chance they might knock the ball out of your hands. I feel like in this game, when I do my Shawn Kemp impression with my guy, I will feel super satisfied because I know that there's a good chance I could've gotten swatted into the next century.

Love this so much! A whole new skill to learn. Finally guys like Larry Sanders can impact the game more then a guy like Matt Bonner.
